Default New MPAC Side Rack & Straddle

I went down to see Doc today to pick up my new side rack and straddle and thought I would share some pictures of them installed. The side rack attaches to the two bolts of the rear swing gate guide, two bolts for the top, and the rear drivers side seat bolt. I picked it up since it seemed like the best way to mount my new Powertank.

Here are some empty pictures.



Here are some pictures set up with my stuff.




And a pictures of the way that the whole rear is set up.



On to the straddle. It is mounted to the console either with velcro for people who don't want to drill, or Doc has some of what he calls a jack nut, that is similar to what many companies use to install corners on the JK, or body mounted sliders. Here is the pictures of the mounting.




The empty rack installed from the drivers side, top, and passenger side.





And the pictures of the rack with the bags installed from the drivers side, top, and passenger side.

Mine used to be bungee cording duffel bags to the floor. My storage has definitly come a long way in the past year. Now that I have the center straddle I need to clean out my center console.
